I've been using ssh-agent + ssh-add on Win98 every since. I'm using it now on DLL version 1.3.2. If your Cygwin installation is up to date, I would be surprised if your problem were the same as mine. Good luck getting it sorted, it sure is a nice feature. :-) Regards, David -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
